Default Best shop for alignment in Bay Area, CA?

Im going to be purchasing a camber kit and installing some time soon, and was wondering if anyone could recommend some shops that have done a good job with alignment. Prices would help too.

roger krauss racing in hayward

not sure if that teh exact spelling. but if you call 411 im sure they can find it

i think its on or near center street

they do a really good job, they also can corner balance the car too.

unless a race team in the bay area has their own alingment setups at a shop, they go to roger's shop

the owner swears alot, but he knows his stuff

ask geratol where he goes, im not sure but he is a smart dude. most tire shops are a bunch of lying retards. ive never had once good experience with a tire shop. you have a race setup, take it to a race shop.

and roger isnt even that expensive

Custom ALignment is the best, but big bucks . . .

Here's the link to the place Bob is referring to:

http://www.rogerkraustires.com

They're actually just inside Castro Valley. Another place local auto-x'ers go is Motorsport Techniques in Hayward.

Do you know what alignment specs you're looking for? If you do then any alignment shop can set the car to your specified specs. I usually take my car to Acutech Autos in South San Francisco. They do a lot of autocrossing and road racing in Integras and can set the alignment to whatever you want, and they're cheap.

Other then that I just take my car to any shop that has good equipment and I know the guys working there.

Thanks again for the help... Still havent got the camber kit yet and have another question...

I am planning on buying new set of rims/tires also, would it be better to wait and get the car aligned with the new tires, rather then the ones that are on the car now? Or will it be ok to install the camber kit, and take it to get aligned with the stock (old) tires?

The wheels on the car shouldn't change the alignment settings.
